Regarding LGPL 2.1 versus 3.0, I recently tried finding the linking exception for 3.0 but concluded that no one has written it yet (from postings to the OCaml list, beginners list, and contacting the FSF). So if you're going to include the linking exception, which most LGPL'd ocaml libraries do, and you don't want to write the linking exception yourself, then your only choice is 2.1.

Hi everybody

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions regarding hosting and licensing of my little library. I think I will host the code on github, because I really like the clean and shiny UI.
As for the license, I'm strongly favoring the LGPL license ATM, but I am unsure whether I should go with version 2.1 or 3.0. And whether or not I need to add a linking exception. Any opinions on that?

I'm currently documenting the source code and should be ready to release this evening.

Thanks

PS: Does somebody know why all of my browsers (Firefox, Safari, Camino on OS X 10.6) do not recognize the Forge.ocamlcore.org server certificate?
